Texting Etiquette
It's far too easy for people to contact you、and that has led to an emergence of twisting etiquette and misconstrued manners。Why must one promptly respond to a written message、or at all、when this medium was invented to communicate at one's convenience? An acquaintance should not feel entitled to my time because they have a set of digits saved on their device。By virtually signaling for my presence、you agreed to an unspoken guarantee of response-delay。
I consider myself an accessible person —— ironic for this rant、I'm acutely aware；can boundaries not coexist with approachability? I will meet you at your behest、“the friend who's down for everything、” you can say、but this 'friend' reserves His limitations when He shares a life、a body and a brain。My Vestiges、who require significant relaxation and space for personal interests、aren't keen on multitasking for companionship。I will devote my time、but it is not mine alone。
My time is precious、as is yours、and frankly we all have lives operating on personalized timeframes。Mine leaves little room for improvisational adjustments。
